AIRPORTMAN & TOMMASO TERASUOLO - Teaming up with Perturbazione front man this is mainly made up of acoustic guitars and voice in a mellow, melancholy, singer/songwriter style. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4wR-tiKKXg

ALBERGO INTERGALATTICO SPAZIALE - Previously unreleased material by this electronic/experimenta/prog band led by ex-I Giganti member Giacomo Di Martino. Only a few copies of each available! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S4s2RvrKdo

ASTROLABIO - Yet another brilliant new Italian prog release that sounds right out of the 70’s. Museo Rosenbach, De De Lind and Biglietto Per L’Inferno would be some close references. A must! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fm2KTHyS3Yw

CAMPO DI MARTE - Progressive masterpiece from 1973. Searing flutes, great fuzz guitar yet still full of Romanticism. The mini’s are the re-formatted song versions the way the band originally intended it to be. http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=490

EMPTY DAYS - Yugen-related project that can be beautiful one minute and then dark and brooding the next. Standouts are the harmony vocals, piano & occasional mellotron. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMdEzCx5f8g

SAME $18

ENDLICH ALLEIN - New symphonic rock group in same style as H20 & Cooperativa Del Latte.

EPISCOPIO VISTARAMA - Prog/symph band that used to perform Gentle Giant and Genesis covers so you can hear those influences in their music along with some Zappa-ish silliness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9xzgtlZoNQ

FALENA - Prog sextet that have been around for years and seem to be getting better over time. Their music is a bit on the heavy side but is offset by some nice melodic sections. https://soundcloud.com/falenaweb/lidiota

PLANETARIUM - Masterful prog that takes you through the journey of life.

INFINITY $18

PLAYING THE HISTORY - Insturmental new versions of tracks by ELP, Genesis, VDGG, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Steve Hackett, Anthony Phillips and Rick Wakeman with contributions by Steve Hackett, David Jackson and Giorgio Gabriel. Nice flute by John Hackett and church organ by Marco Lo Muscio. (Preview)

REALE ACCADEMIA DI MUSICA - Prog masterpiece from 1972 and a very underrated 2nd album from 1974. La Cometa is a previously unreleased (slightly folkier) album also from 1974. Il Linguaggio and Tempo are surprisingly good comeback albums. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWa5u0Kf66U
